In less than ten years, from the emblematic quest for the Ark of the Covenant in 1981 to the no less fabulous quest for the Holy Grail in 1989, the Indiana Jones phenomenon will perhaps never have really been surpassed by another work of his era, if not by the indestructible Star Wars .
The American archaeologist, an adventurer from a very young age, represents the culmination of several centuries of adventure stories, symbolizing a humanity in pursuit of its lost landmarks... which must then be sought in the past.
This work thus bears a responsibility that should not be underestimated, that of taking stock of all of Indiana Jones' quests, in cinema and on television, on the History that makes them possible, on the artifacts that make them possible. sublimate or even on the encounters which enrich their deep meaning. A way for us to celebrate the work of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, the quintessence of entertainment cinema.
